Bert Michael, son of Mr. And Mrs. Simon Michael, of this city, died Saturday 
in Atlanta in a sanitarium, where he had been carried, after an operation in 
this city for appendicitis.  He was buried in Athens Monday, an immense 
concourse of people in all walks of life, attending the funeral, which was 
from the residence on Prince Avenue.

This young man was a favorite in Athens.  He had just graduated from the 
University, and was the youngest member of the class, and was appointed to the 
position of captain of a company, he was taking his stand at the head when 
this sad calamity overtook him.  He was a manly son of a noble father and 
mother, and the only one of a large family to cross the great divided.  No 
wonder what it wrings their hearts as nothing else could, but there is another 
side – this great divided is only the turning point, just like a certain 
mountain top turns the water, part into the Pacific and part into the Gulf. 

It will only be a short time at the very longest, when one by one as they, too 
come to the great divide, when like the waters of the Pacific and the Gulf 
will mingle together again until those shall be a great re-union.  We deeply 
sympathize with them in their great grief, made more so by the fact that they 
were thousands of mils away while their boy was slowly but surely dying, but 
rejoice with them that they reached home in time to see his face before he 
died.  They laid him away by the rippling waters of the Oconee amidst the 
lovliest flowers from friends all over the state.
